Services
IVF
IVF involves combining retrieved eggs and sperm in our laboratory to create embryos, which are then transferred into the uterus for implantation. Our state-of-the-art IVF laboratory in Melville ensures optimal conditions for embryo development. With over 35 years of experience, we utilize advanced techniques like PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) to improve success rates and help patients achieve healthy pregnancies.
IUI
IUI places prepared sperm directly into the uterus around ovulation to increase fertilization chances. This treatment addresses both female and male fertility factors with minimal invasiveness. Our team customizes timing and sperm preparation to maximize effectiveness while maintaining patient comfort and convenience.
Egg Freezing
Egg freezing cryopreserves eggs for future use, allowing patients to preserve fertility before medical treatments or life events. We employ vitrification technology for high egg survival rates post-thaw. This service supports patients facing cancer treatments, elective preservation, or delayed family-building plans with personalized counseling.
Surrogacy
Our surrogacy program facilitates gestational carrier arrangements using IVF-created embryos. We coordinate donor egg, sperm, and embryo transfers while ensuring legal and emotional support. Patients receive comprehensive guidance through screening, matching, and pregnancy management with experienced reproductive specialists.
Genetic Testing
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer during IVF. This technology improves implantation rates and reduces miscarriage risks. Our embryologists perform biopsies with precision, using advanced genetic analysis to select the healthiest embryos for transfer.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Carey Dicken as my fertility doctor. Dr. Dicken was amazing!. She was very knowledgeable, personable, and compassionate. I never felt rushed or "just another number" type of feeling. Due to a low ovarian count, I had very low expectations. After all said and done, Dr. Dicken got me pregnant on my first round! Anyone that is looking for a great doctor, she is the one! Also, the staff and nurse's were amazing!
I have nothing negative to say about this facility. Oneika (my nurse) and Jahmila (the front desk staff) were amazing! I also can not forget about Nicole Adams! Thank you for such a great experience!

I drove here from MA back in 2012 to do embryo adoption. I got pregnant my 2nd time. I absolutely love this place! For anyone still struggling, I know how stressful and painful it is. Keep reminding yourself that embryo adoption is an option. I did 5 ICIs, 3 IUIs, 5 IVFs, & 2 embryo adoptions. I finally made it. Don't give up on your dream! We love our daughter just as if she were our biological one.

Dr. Dicken is amazing. I was so touched when she came for my ER even though she wasn't on schedule for that day. She is helping me create a family. Bless her soul!

My first experience with rma was very bad. The service was bad. I went to them a 2nd time because I had no choice or start over from the beginning and the experience from all the shots and the pp was very stressful. I went to another doctor which was much better but he said it would be best to do it because I had all those embryos there. And he asked the doctor to do 2 embryo because of my age. So now I'm trying to do a transfer again and they are all about the money and not about how much stress the patient feel when they have to do this so many times. I'm now please. I have Dr kreiner. Not please with them at all.

We just started using RMA and Dr. Dickens bur so far it is going really well. Struggling with getting pregnant is not a easy thing to gothrough. I felt that Dr. Dickens and her staff were very helpful and compassionate through our process so far. They made us very informed of our options and the next steps. They were very accommodating with scheduling. They were able to last minute squeeze me in for an exam. I definitely recommend. I am looking forward to what comes next.

Dr. Dicken is a wonderful and caring doctor of great skill. We've had more success working with her than other doctors we've seen over the last 3 years and have a healthy baby boy because of her hard work. We couldn't be more grateful to have met her.
